Reisen Udongein Inaba

Reisen Udongein Inaba (Tag name : 鈴仙・優曇華院・イナバ) is one of the characters from Touhou Project. First appeared in Imperishable Night, she is one of the legendary lunar rabbits who fled from the Moon to Earth as a refugee.

While in Eientei, her duty has been none other than fulfilling errands, a task given by her master Eirin (along with learning what she teaches). Thus it's an everyday task for Reisen to complete, to the point of being forced sometimes.

However, that errand itself including protecting Eientei's owner and master, Kagura Houraisan. While Eirin is actually the one who is tasked to do so, Reisen is acting as the assistant. Aside from that, she handles all house chores of Eientei or watch over youkai rabbits who live within the lost bamboo thickets, and also go to villages for various errands. To most, she can be considered close to jack of all trades.

She is especially bumped and bothered when dealing with Tewi Inaba, who is the lord of the lost bamboo thickets. This especially give her headache when she has to be the middle-man between her master and Tewi.

Dresses in a black business suit over her white shirt with a necktie. Her left suit-collar is decorated with a crescent moon-shaped insignia, and there appears to be paper or business cards poking out of her left shirt pocket. Wears a beige skirt.

Red eyes, long light-purple hair and long rumpled rabbit ears. Dresses in a white shirt with a red necktie, without her blazer seen in Imperishable Night. There is a clip on her necktie in the shape of a carrot. Wears a purple skirt.

Same as above, except her dress, her ears and eyes are both dark green, and shirt and hair are light green. But in Hisoutensoku this is slightly changed, with wearing a short sleeve white shirt, a red belt, and a blue skirt similar to PoFV.

Danmaku (Bullet Hell)

Reisen's Danmaku is mainly formed using bullets. However they are not produced by real guns, but is formed from Reisen's finger by sticking out her thumb and index finger while hiding the rest, posing as if she is using a real gun. This bullet contains the ability to control insanity (mainly illusion), and it is used mainly on Spellcards.

Ironically, it is said that Reisen's danmaku, when it does not contain any lunacy powers, is far more tighter and harsher compared to her danmaku with her ability infused with it. Some people also believed that using illusion however weakens her ability. However, her spellcard is purposely made that way because it will otherwise break the spellcard rule (Spellcards are meant to be avoidable). Hence it is also said that Reisen purposely used illusion to create an escape route for danmaku players to play around with.

Considering how Reisen uses her danmaku in a way how people use a gun, there are many illustrations drawn depicting her actually holding a gun. Some illustrations submitted in pixiv actually portrayed Reisen's use of her danmaku perfectly, and some believed that she looks a lot cooler holding a gun.

Also, Her bullets are sometimes depicted as a joke for many fans. Considering how it is shaped like a suppository, there are many illustrations of her that are attached with the "Suppository" tag.

Watatsuki Sisters
Reisen's former master. While recognized as official characters of Touhou, both of them did not appear in the main franchise, hence they are not related to Reisen. According to them, while Reisen has sense (in skills), her personality is actually quite difficult to handle.

Reisen met the sister once again in 4-koma. Yorihime would give her some lessons to fix her up, while Toyohime would bring out peaches during the exchange. For that moment, it seems to be some nostalgic moment to the three of them.

ReisenTwo of them. Double Reisen！
The another Reisen who received the same name from the same people. While considered to be the successor to Reisen who escaped to Gensokyo, she is far inferior compared to the previous Reisen.

Met at 4-koma for the first time. Though the exchange seemed awkward at first, they seemed to be consistently under good terms.

About Name Callings

In pixiv or any other Touhou committee, Reisen is usually referred as "Udonge"(うどんげ). Considering how long her name is, illustrations in pixiv are usually tagged using her full name coupled with Udonge.

Hence, searching for Udonge will usually bring satisfying results compared to using her real name. On the other hand, her very first name, Reisen is used for the other Touhou character, simply and also named Reisen from Touhou Bougetsushou ~ Silent Sinner in Blue. While her name is written in Katakana and sometimes mixed with the other Reisen (searching both 鈴仙 and レイセン together, for example, such illustrations are far little compared to searching illustrations using her full name.

Derivative Scene

A very coward character.

She is mainly potrayed as a coward, though obedient but always bullied and teased character. Kaguya would always task Reisen with ridiculous errands, while her master Eirin would treat her as a guinea pig for her medicine experiments. In other words, she is frequently harassed; Tewi, on the other hand would frequently pull pranks on her. In the end, she is considered to be a character who suffers the most as a servant after Youmu Konpaku.

Coupling wise, she is majorly paired with Eirin, followed by her bad friend Tewi Inaba. She is also seen paired with Kaguya, although it's not as frequently seen. She can also be seen paired with Youmu.
